[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652732, member: 17461"] I feel like that too, sometimes. The changes that happened for your son are real changes, over-time changes in the kinds of choices he is making. You helped with that by changing your responses to his behaviors, just as I am making a tiny difference for my kids (and grands) by changing my responses, by being careful, and waiting, and giving the kids back responsibility for their lives. What I see in my family is that confidence that goes with meeting those kinds of challenges blossoming away in my kids and grands. We are doing something different, and that has changed everything for our kids. With all my heart, I wish all of us continued success. It was scarier at first, for me. Now, I have that little backlog of times when it turned out better that I did not help too much. Good for us, IAD. Remember when it all felt so hopeless? We did good. :hugs: Cedar [/QUOTE]
